Chapter 29 - Raidan -

"Are you done? We've been too late already!!" I said glancing at my watch.

As we had decided to visit the univarsity together today, I had informed my coworkers about it. All of them are really excited to meet my fiance. Honestly just like anyone else even my coworkers used to think that I'm gay. That's why they are even more excited.

"Raidan, come in and help me with the zipper of this sweater. I can't reach it", she called out for me from the closet.

I went inside the closet, which belonged to both of us now. It feels really satisfying seeing her clothes and her things beside mine inside the closet. I saw her standing infront of the mirror. She is wearing a lime green skirt , a tissue pink sweater, and inside it a lime green top. She is wearing skin colour leggings like yesterday, with white boots. She has let her hair open and she is wearing a cute pink hat made of wool. She, as usual looks perfect from head to toe. I went near her and pulled up the zipper of her pink sweater and then she took her lime green bag and then turned to me.

"I'm done", she said with a smile.

"How do I look? Presentable?" she asked looking at my face, meeting my eyes.

"You are gonna turn heads where ever you go today", I said checking her out once more, giving an amused look.

She chuckled hearing me. And then finally we were on our to the univarsity. I can say that she is still nervous. But I want to ease all her nervousness. And so I tried to divert her attention from her thoughts.

"Lam, do you listen to music?" I asked her in spite of knowing how much she loves music.

"Yeah... Don't you?" she asked looking at me.

"Yeah", I said as I made a turn on the right.

"Then... Can you sing?" she asked hesitately.

I shrugged a shoulder. Then I shook my head just in order to see her reaction. I looked at her from the corner of my eyes. She looked disappointed.

"Yes, I can!!! But just a little bit", I said giving a lopsided grin.

Her face lit up and she smiled hearing me. She rolled down the window and tilted her head towards the window to feel the breeze. She enjoyed the breeze as her hair flew with it.

"Your make up will be ruined you know? Also you will freeze your face", I told her about the facts she was ignoring.

And as expected of her, she didn't listen to me. She replied to me saying that she hasn't put on makeup and she hopes that I won't mind a frozen face. I hold up my hand in surrender.

"I don't mind anything as long as you don't", I said to her feeling amused by her.

She gave a smile looking at me and then turned to the window. And just like that we were present in the university. I had to go to the office at first cause my coworkers had asked for me.

"Raidan, is there a music school in here?" she asked me as we walked our way towards Physics Department.

"Yeah, why?" I asked as I looked at her.

I saw this thing in her eyes, there is a spark of mischief in them. Which sort of give me a indication of why she might be asking me this question.

"Will you sing me a song in there?" she asked with a bright, hopeful smile.

"No", I replied strongly .

"No , you don't say no to me!!!", she said tilting her head pointing a finger at me.

"Well, I remember saying 'no' to you plenty of times", I said looking away from her.

"No, you didn't!! The one who said no to me is the captain of DT. But right now you are my fiance. Which means you are halfway to husbandhood. And remember husbands don't say no to their wives", she snickered proudly and happily rolled her eyes.

"What hood? And okay fiance I'll sing you a song but not in here. I'll sing you a song but at home, I've a guitar at home", I said to her and gave an assuring smile as she looked at me.

"You promise?" she asked looking at me making puppy eyes.

"I promise", I said patting her head.

"Listen whoever doesn't keep his/her word is a dog, and dogs....." she got distracted by an incoming call.

"I'm sorry, its my cousin, I've to take it", she said checking out the caller.

She was taking time walking as she was talking at the same time. But I had to hurry. So I mouthed her the way and left for the office cause I could tell by their conversation, that it's gonna take a while.

When I went to my office, I saw all my coworkers staring at the door. I thought for a second about what the situation was. When I greeted them, I saw them looking at me weirdly. It seemed like they are very excited for something. But after checking me out properly they let out a disappointed sigh.

"Are you alone?" Xavier one of the lecturers of this discipline asked.

"Yeah, why? Did you thought Andrew would come with me?" I asked looking between them.

Andrew is the assistant teacher under me. He has taken half day off from me since today is his niece's 100 days ceremony. I granted it.

"I'm surprised to see that you have become more humane", said Andrew when I accepted his application.

Xavier gave me a shrug and went back with his work. And at that moment I remembered that I had told them about Lam. I took my seat and then called Elanour and Roye, both of them are doing internship under our department. I called them to take care of Lam since I've to attend a class today, as I can see in my schedule.

This class was definitely not in my schedule last time.

"My fiance is here. I want you guys to take care of her until I get back, is that okay with you guys?" I asked them looking at their face. They looked at me as if they had seen a ghost.

"No problem", they said in unison as I waved a hand at them.

"Ok, well then I'll get to my work now", I said as I left carrying my laptop in my left hand.

I called Lucy on my way to the classroom.

"I'll come tonight but I won't be able to give you much time. Half hour top!! So keep everything prepared", I said to Lucy in my usual cold voice.

"Half hour? But that won't be enough", she said from the other side of the phone.

"I want to get done with it quickly, don't you understand??" I said with a growl.

"This is going to be the last time that you meet me, right?" she asked, enthusiasticly.

"As a single man you mean? Yeah", I replied with a smile from the corner of my lips.

"Looking forward to see you tonight. By the way, make sure you look good", she advised.
